Vidya Balan has teamed up with dad P R Balan to film a special video to be released around Father's Day on June 18. Directed by Ashish Sawhny, the video is a part of the campaign `Bus Ab Bahut Hogaya Enough is Enough' by Population Foundation of India (PFI), Farhan Akhtar's social campaign MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination) and Feroz Abbas Khan.
A source said, "In the video, Vidya's father speaks of the delight of being father to two girls (Vidya and elder sister, Priya) and reveals that he was brought up by a single mother. The father-daughter duo also shared anecdotes from their lives."
The actress told Mirror, "This is a very special video because it encapsulates the strength of my bond with my father. But there is a larger message too -of the value of the girl child. That discrimination between girls and boys has to stop."
